A Bibilical Deacon

Contributed by Dwight Kennedy on Feb 22, 2018

I want us to look at what the BIBLE gives as qualifications of a deacon. Also, the question sometimes comes up, "Do we really need deacons now?" I believe that stems from a misunderstanding of what a deacon should actually be.

The church has many positions that are filled with Godly men and Godly woman, but the Bible only teaches of two offices: 1) Bishop, Elder, Overseer, or Pastor, and 2) Deacon. Churches today are filled with men who may hold the TITLE of deacon, but their lives disqualify them from actually being a ...read more

Talking With God - Week #3 Series

Contributed by Don Hickey on Jan 12, 2019

We talked about knowing God. We talked about how to hear God, and today I want to talk to you about talking with God. That means prayer. Prayer is communication with God.

*Disclaimer- I use many sources. God is gracious. Life is about knowing God and walking with God. When you read your Bible, that's about being with God. When you pray, that's about being with God. BUT, a lot of us are intimidated by prayer. Why? Because we have a misunderstanding of what ...read more

Settled In The Word

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 24, 2019

As Paul continued to share wisdom and guidance with Timothy, he knew eventually Timothy would face false doctrine and false accusation. In order to overcome, he needed to be settled in the Word.

Settled in the Word 2 Timothy 2: 14-18 Paul continued to offer sound wisdom and guidance to his young protégé, Timothy. Having dealt with many who opposed him, Paul was well acquainted with the struggles of ministry among those determined to hinder his efforts. While Paul faced physical ...read more

When God Messes With You Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on May 31, 2018

Does God mess with us, to help us grow? Joseph did not immediately reveal his identity to his brothers, and they grew through their struggles. Sometimes God refines his people through trials and hard choices.

WHEN GOD MESSES WITH YOU: Genesis 42-44 I never served in the military, so I never experienced boot camp. From what I hear, boot camp is stressful, by design. The physical and mental demands on new recruits are intended to force them to confront their weaknesses, build their character, and learn ...read more

Preach For Free? Must Be Crazy!

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Feb 24, 2017

People say preachers are in it for the money, but if one comes just ready to preach for free they think you are nuts. Where's the win-win? ;-)

Ever since I have been saved, I have heard that "Preachers are only in it for the money." My first pastor was driving a twelve-year-old car, raising four kids on a salary that was equal to what my father-in-law was paying in weekly taxes. Admittedly, when you look at the lifestyles of ...read more
